Rupert Murdoch and his cronies are accused of, and in some cases have admitted, bribery and corruption and a whole host of. It the least they should be suspended from running any kind of media empire until the enquiry is finished.

Instead, they are allowed to relaunch their discredited gutter rag under a new name and just carry on as if nothing has happened.

Or am I being too cynical?

In the current climate of "guilty until proven innocent" which the media pushes you may be right. But I'm on the other side.

Haven't seen it, but is it more NOTW? Or simply another edition of The Sun which is not that different from the daily edition? What's the main headline? 'VILE PAEDO VICAR AND THE SCHOOLGIRL WITH MASSIVE TITS!'?

I agree that it should be innocent until proven guilty, it still is, but if a police officer or senior member of the government was accused of such a serious offence there would rightly be calls for suspension until the matter is cleared. Agumentally, Rupert Murdoch etc have far more power to invade and threaten people's lives. There are literally lives at stake - how many innocent people have died during the media witch hunts? If more than one it's too many - we can't pussyfoot around if fear of upsetting the media.

I agree,Murdoch and his empire stink!

I predict the SOS will be basically a non event..limp along with ubnder 2 million sales and when the price has to go up...who knows.

I have never in my lifetime heard of a businessman closing one of the most succesful businesses as the NoTW was.

Murdoch could have either sold it or put it into a blind trust...instead he shut down over 100 years of history and thinks he can re-invent the wheel and transfer goodwilll form one paper to another..if only it was so easy.

People still think Murdoch is a great 'newspaper' man..he isn;t..he has never in his leftime set up a newspaper ( apart from his beloved Australian which loses a fortune and sells about 100,000 a day)

..what he is a great coporate raider whio sees newspapers others have set up..and goes in for the kill. He hires the best who do all the hard work.

sorry...but Amanda Holden (and I like her) "near death" is not an exclusive and not great front page material..it's a month old story.

You're completely right pumpkinhead. Poor old Rupert's senile act in Parliament ought to get him dragged back for another 'humble' day.

I enjoy reading The Sun it's not contradictory unlike the BBC news everyday.
